Live what you imagine is possible

At a high level it's crystal clear that climate change acceleration is caused by humans and humans are adaptable by nature and can adapt to the new climate change paradigm. 
It matters to people that want to stop it, especially those people who have been directly impacted by it.
I want to slow it down and stop it.

I want to see climate change deceleration until we achieve a stable and safe climate system once again.

A fossil Carbon export tax could be collected and invested in many areas of the transitional economy, including moving towards a regenerative circular bioeconomy.

A financial commitment to Carbon negative technology with a 'National Pyrolysis Strategy' should be one such area, with applications throughout the economy. 
Carbon negative technology producing biochar is linked to Carbon chemistry. Carbon chemistry from the lab to the factory has been a major problem for many Carbon chemists, and chemists in general. A lot more Carbon chemistry funding at the University level could be part of the pyrolysis strategy which could position the developing manufacturing industry very nicely for the future.
I've designed an open source Top-Lit Updraft (TLUD) below that can be used for lab scale biochar/Carbon experiments. For eg., pyrolysis in the TLUD kiln of Silicon-rich bamboo, with high cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), low Moisture Content (MC), at high temperature for high surface area biochar can be used either unmodified or as a feedstock precursor for 'Flash Joule Heating' (FJH, improved with high electrically conductive networks/pathways in the bamboo biochar) for Carbon chemistry (eg.graphene) used to produce Carbon-based (doped?) battery anodes, solid state battery electrolytes, supercapacitors, solar perovskites, electronics and more. Crystalline nano structures are the key to this research! These products could be manufactured in Australia with 'enough' financial support linking in to the private sector. Carbon chemistry is a highly competitive field, as is the future of the Planet, with great rewards for first movers.

Anyone interested in building a research TLUD please contact me and we can talk shop.
